I quess all J/M fans who tuned in last week hoping Marlena will finally get his memory back, turned their TV´s off in disgust when they discovered it is another Reilly´s cheap trick. Plus the show is really boring now, nothing is happening except all couples being destroyed and separated by some lame twists and unlogical plots. There is no reason to watch.

Not surprised although I never thought Days would drop that much. Its been good but nothing that will draw viewers in. The good news is with all the soaps really haveing bad numbers they are all bound to rebound next week-even Days. It has nothing to do with the couples broken up and such-there was just nothing big happening and Days had goen up three consecutive weeks before that. The soaps has a nice run for awhile with numbers being stabile or increasing and now they all crashed and burned, not just Days. Next week they should allo go up or at least stay the same.

As for Days dropping because people knew it was JER cheap trick how would they know when Days did nothing to promote the Marlena wedding. Sure they had their weekly promo but in this week's promo there was nothing about it and no one would have known that JER was pulling their leg until Monday of this week so that was not the cuase of ratings dropping. It was simply nothing huge last week to draw viewers in and an inevitable fall after 3 great weeks of ratings. Plus, Days is still #1 in 18-34 and tied for #2 in 18-49 so it wasn't all bad even though they decreased there too but so did like every other soap. It was a bad week for all soaps really

PSNS at a 1.4!? There is no excuse for these kinda numbers, it has a good time slot and is on pretty much on the same time everywhere, either 1 or 2 pm. No excuses, except the show sucks and my not be able to repair itself.

DAYS falling .4, that sucks honestly. I dont even want to comment on anything else, all soaps fell so bad(except GL, Y&R, B&B) it is like there was a glitch in the data or something, lol.

Whoa..with the way all the other soaps are going, GL really isn't doing that bad.

WTH is happening with Days? 0.4 is a big drop! Also, I was expecting ATWT's 50th anniversary show to be a lot higher than that. I know most are happy that it stayed consistent but that's not good enough, IMO.

The four biggest fanbases on the show are J&M, B&H, J&J and Lumi. Every one of these is thoroughly pissed off with the state of the show currently. Do the math.

And I will be amazed if Days goes up next week. The last week (J/F sex, Carcus proposal, Hatrick kiss etc) has been awful.

Ponz, I predict DAYS will be at 2.3 or worse next week. You've only got to visit all the boards to realize fans are angrier than ever, and the Jen/Frankie Puke sex this week is the last straw for many.

The acronym for Carrie/Lucas is CARCASS: a perfect metaphor for the show in general, I think.

:lol::rolleyes:

And, why the [!@#$%^&*] is PASSIONS even still on the air?

I'd love to know what those bozos over at NBC are smoking! :lol::lol:

    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
